Configuring automated test failover

By configuring automated test failover, you can test your recovery server every month without performing any manual actions.

To configure automated test failover

  1. In the console, go to Disaster recovery > Servers > Recovery servers, and then select the recovery server.

  2. Click Edit.

  3. On the Automated test failover tab, in the Schedule field, select Monthly.

  4. In Screenshot timeout, change the default value of the maximum time period (in minutes) for the system to try performing automated test failover.

  5. If you want to save the Screenshot timeout value as the default and have it populated automatically when you enable automated test failover for the other recovery servers, select Set as default timeout.

  6. Click Save.
